The empire of sensations
The Mandarina Duck showroom in Paris was designed by Droog Design and NL Architects.
To regain media attention after the opening, Mandarina Duck sought a series of temporary
events. The boutique had been designed with a focus on stylish and innovative furniture
which reflected Mandarin Duck’s products. Not wanting to saturate the space with more
design elements, we proposed an intervention on another level which would complement the
existing layout. We created a series of temporary installations which could be appreciated by
different senses, like temperature, odour, and feelings. Interventions which didn’t change anything in the space but propose a new way of reading and experiencing it.

An invitation to travel
Façade on rue Fustel de Coulanges
Design of a travel agency « Comptoir des Voyages» located in a classified building in
the 5th district of Paris. The project required the design of corporate identity. Thereafter
this identity was used for the development of the interior design of this agency and for
the future subsidiary companies. The office extends itself on the ground floor and the
basement. The importance of this project is the large open space, creating a visual
bond between the two levels and transforming the basement into a pleasant and luminous space for the employees and the customers.
